Street performers Uganda is group that brings together
different young creative artists to do their work in the public spaces to
charge the social life of other people through using art and culture.

WHAT IS OUR WORK ABOUT?
The group uses arts to effect social change and awareness. We
show vices and follies in community through our performances exposing ethnic differences,
sexuality, corruption and religious differences.
The group has done this through the monthly performances it
carries out on the streets of Kampala city, and its suburbs. Indeed the
performances have caught the eye of the public to such an extent that it has
led to the growth of street theatre in Uganda.
